Never hang picture from one nail. Aside from

AntOinette SOnles' Romance.
SHE RUNS AWAY TO MARRY HER LOVER AND RETURN
THE WIFE OF FUTURE BARON.


THE WIFE OF FUTURE BARON.
From the Troy Press.
Several days ago handsome lady, accompanied
by bright pale-faced boy of some five years reg
istered at the Troy House "Mrs. l. Maitland and
son, Shanghai, China" There Is quite romance
connected with Mrs. Maitland's life. Some twenty
years back Mrs. Maitland lived with her parents
on North Third street. She was romantic school
girl OF some fifteen summers, and was then known
as AntOinette Soines. In some incOnceivable way
the girl formed an attachment for young man
living out OF town. The SOmes people were of the
stern Quaker blood, and, hearing Of their daugh-
terS clandeStlne meetings with The young man
from out OF town, Antoinette was forbidden 10
keep further company with her lover. But where
Is the young school girl that reasons at the age of
their daughter looked at the opposition as merci-
less persecution. The girl accordingly made ar
rangements with her lover to leave the city. An
elopenent was the result, and Antoinette was re-
nounced by her watchful sire.
Everything went well with the young and ro-
mantle couple. They were married and settled in
California. After few years of married bliss
Antoinette lost her husband. Some friends were
going to China. and they persuaded the young
woman to accompany them. So in far-ofY China
the Troy girl found home. Her parents lost all
trace OF her whereabouts for many years. The
young woman seemed to possess a lucky STAR She
was courted and battered by the gay colony OF
Americans at Shanghai, and reigned a belle for
years One day she was taken sick and her life
hung by thread for many weeks. She was advised
TO visit health resort in China, and accordingly
did as she was hidden. While the Invalid was

lance or wealthy Scotch merchant named L
Maitland, the eldest son OF Sir John Maitland, a
scotch baron, who possesses many acres in The
land OF Caledonia. Mr.. Maitland fell in love with
the Troy girl, and, to make long story short
married her. This is our Troy girls romance.
Mrs. Maitland was advised some months since to
leave her home at Shanghai, China, owing to the
poor health OF her son
A trip to America was recommended, and accord
1ngly Mrs. Maitland started with her boy for the
| far-on home she had left so many years ago A
great many changes had occurred in Troy since
Mrs. Maitland so suddenly departed. Her father
had died, but her mother, Mrs. Maria SOmes, and
sister still lived at the old home on North Third
street. 1t Is needless to say that the wanderer
was received with open arms by the delighted rel
at1yeS, and that the foolish little eScapade OF Mrs
Ma1tlandS girlhOOd was entirely overlooked Mrs
Maitland Is now visiting with friends on the AL
bany road. She intends to remain in Troy until
does not improve. The boy, John Maitland is the
future heir OF the estate and dignity OF his Scotch
grandfather Sir John Maitland

Pretty Irish Girls at a Horse Show.

went to the horse show during the afternoon
for the purpose OF seeing the people more than
the horses. Throughout the great gathering did
not see single sign OF poverty or lack Of comfort
It was an exceptionally handsome, well-dressed
crowd. II was much better looking gathering
than those saw at the Ascot or the Derby The
ladies in particular were much hanosomer and
dressed with much better taste. The material OF
their dresses was not more expensive, but the
colors were harmonious, and the dresses were all
well made. I saw more pretty girls at
this horse show in one day than have
seen In all England during the last five
months The Irish girls, as a class, have fine
straight willowy figures, regular features and
intensely fair compilations. These fair, delicate
compilations. however, break early, so that the old
ladies OF Ireland are quite as ugly ana plain as
those of England. 1t was q splendid looking
crowd. They appeared very much like English
people IN their quiet ways and matter Of fact en-
joyment OF the jumping OF the horses, but they
spoke much better English than their English
cousins, and where any brogue was heard it was
so slight as to add piQuancy rather than to the
manner OF speaking.

The New Iron Curtain Of the Theater

From the Pan Mall Gazette
The new iron curtain OF the Theater Francois Is
gigantic affair. It neither rolls up nor folds TO
gether, but ascends in solid sheet into the upper
regions. which have had to be heightened to make
room for it. The ascent occupies minute and q
quarter. It appears, too that the new drop-scene,
with its colonnade and busts, Is not an ordinary
rolling canvas, but Is glued to the iron curtain.
